Good morning,

 

The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS), formerly The Graduate School, wants to acknowledge PhD students' essential role in our research, teaching, and engagement missions at Purdue through their mentoring work.

 

If you feel you have contributed to excellence in mentoring whether in the lab, field, or classroom, consider applying for this award.

 

Applicants must be PhD students currently registered in good standing in the College of Engineering. Assemble the following in one PDF document in the following order:

  1. A curriculum vita.
  2. A mentoring statement including your mentoring philosophy, commitment to mentoring, and accomplishments in the area of mentoring (maximum of 500 words).
  3. One letter of support from mentees, advisors, or other staff members who have first-hand knowledge of your excellence in mentoring. The letter can be signed by multiple individuals, but there can only be one letter of support.

Packets should be submitted to this Box Folder  by 5:00pm on Friday, February 10, 2025.

 

One nominee from the College of Engineering will be selected and forwarded to the University. The University-level winner will be announced on April 24th and will receive an award of $1,500 and a plaque.  The winner will be notified by email and be invited to the awards celebration on April 24th, 2025.

 

Let me know what questions you have!

 

Thanks so much,
